  • Started 3 years ago by admin

  1. Hi All,

    On twitter I have been asked about seed mixes to create chicken forage cover.

    "Hello, am looking for some advice, am re-seeding an area for chicken forage + wondered if there are recommended seed mixes?" From http://twitter.com/getmyhandsdirty

    I found this on the internet http://www.thegrassseedstore.co.uk/2500-poultry-grazing-pasture-p-185.html
    which mentions:
    Turf Perennial Ryegrass lolium perenne
    Strong Fescue festuca rubra
    Sheeps Fescue festuca longifolia
    Chewing Fescue festuca rubra commutata
    Bentgrass agrostis capillaris
    Lucerne medicago lupilina
    Birdsfoot Trefoil lotus corniculatus
    White Clover trifolium repens
    Red Clover trfolium pratense
    Mixed forage herbs = Chicory, Burnet, Sheeps Parsley, Sheeps Burnet,Yarrow

    Let me know if you have any advice about forage for hens.
    kind regards
    Sara @ farmingfriends
